Recruited from the Saints to fill the understudy role for the club’s strong midfield, Dunstan was rarely called upon to play that role. Was outstanding at Casey and was one of the best on ground in the premiership victory.

 

"The former Saint played just five senior games in his first season with the Demons, but was named Melbourne’s best VFL player for 2022 and was also second in the Casey Demons’ best-and-fairest award. The midfielder had 31 disposals in Casey’s premiership win." - Herald Sun

    Should’ve been utilised in the finals if you believe that we had up to 11 injuries.

    His 38 possession/2 goal VFL final against Sydney should've been rewarded down the track.

    It wouldn’t surprise me if he gets more games next year, we had to teach him our game and de-St Kilda him.

    I’m not a great fan but, like all players, he needs confidence and how could anyone playing at St Kilda have any.

    Luke had a great year at Casey and had a big impact in the Casey GF, hopefully Luke will get more game time next year. We really must reward effort and he will be fitter and tougher next year.!!

    Deserving of more games than he got, he performed well in the few he was given. Hard at it, four quarter effort. Kicking, particularly distance, better than suggested around here. Gets in good places and not intimidated by physical contact. I think he is important in our current profile.

    Agree with the general consensus here. If his performance at the VFL Grand Final  exemplifies his courage, ability and intent. Given appropriate opportunity Luke is on the cusp of becoming a valued member of the senior team. 
     

    As others have already noted his ball skills on a wet slippery surface were terrific as was his attack on the ball. Kicked a memorable check side goal at pace, from tight in the forward pocket in the third quarter at the Sydney Road end.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
